Sich die Illusion einer guten, heilen Welt zurückzuwünschen und Neues abzulehnen, wird dabei nicht helfen. Höchste Zeit also sich den Realitäten zu stellen. 2024 stehen Europawahlen und Nationalratswahlen an. Sollen diese in einem Umfeld von Europa-Skeptizismus, Selbstverzwergung und Politrezepten von anno dazumal stattfinden oder einen optimistischen, Chancen und Perspektiven betonenden Ideenwettstreit bieten?
While the ambitious objectives outlined in the EU’s Green Deal aim at making Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, national implementation greatly varies depending on local geographies, history, culture, economics, and politics. This book analyses Member States’ and EU neighbours’ national efforts to combat climate change. It subsequently draws on these factors to highlight local challenges, tensions, and opportunities on the road towards climate neutrality. In the context of inter-country dependencies following Russia’s war against Ukraine, it addresses strategic questions regarding EU integration, the transformation of our economies, the reduction of energy dependencies, and public perception of the above. The book also makes concrete recommendations, in various policy areas, on how individual countries and the EU as a whole should deal with the climate crisis.
